[QUOTE="Carlo-One, post: 8515987, member: 7015827"] After some commentary on the fate of the previous pit occupants, they tried the door and found it to be locked, to Shanni’s chagrin, without a way to pick it. Aerikoth volunteered to attempt his chime of opening before Darrow’s “dwarven locksmith” technique was applied. The wizard pulled forth some small chimes from his magical bag and struck them, the sound filling the small space followed by a click from the door mechanism. Relieved that it had worked, Shanni gingerly turned the handle and was immediately impaled through several parts of her body. The petite rogue fell to the ground, limp, but still barely breathing. ([I]It may seem harsh, but employing the "dwarven locksmith" strategy in such scenarios may in fact prove to be the best approach, if one is not sure there is a trap involved. A fully armored dwarven fighter no doubt can take punishment better than a petite rogue. --R[/I]) Darrow rushed forward with a healing kit and applied it to her wounds as she continued to bleed, also slipping his magic healing ring on her finger at Aerikoth’s encouragement, as Dermot fumbled for a potion bottle that might help. As Shanni’s bleeding slowed, Darrow began carefully easing her off the spikes as she whimpered while unconscious. Dermot tilted her head up and carefully poured in the contents of his bottle, murmuring that pain was just a moment in time. The magical healing and her companions’ care put Shanni upright, if shakily, in relatively short time. She tossed up her red ioun stone, which began orbiting her head, and tried the door again, this time opening it easily if gingerly. A corridor was revealed and Dermot soon found another secret door inside. The ranger poked it and then opened it to reveal another, darker corridor. They decided to pass it up for the moment and return after they investigated the area, as Aerikoth advised. Dermot and Shanni continued poking the length of the corridor walls, finding nothing of interest except for an old book that crumbled to dust in Shanni’s hands. They did note some differences in the stonework in the main corridor, once past the secret door, but could not determine anything of significance about it. They therefore went back to the secret door and entered the new corridor, finding it was covered with spiderwebs. After moving down it a ways, Darrow spotted another door, one which Shanni said had spikes protecting it, as well as something buzzing beyond it. [/QUOTE]
